It was almost zero viability&nbsp;on the highway I'm told. As for here I could just make out the street at the end of the parking lot. We got snow piled up in spots and others are still clear. Lots of snow drifts. Most of the time we don't get a great deal of snow these days, but when I was a kid there seemed to be a lot more of it.</span></div>Dave Nicholsonhttps://plus.google.com/117293544899844557643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683248557101510546.post-34983850267292328022019-01-20T11:46:00.000-06:002019-01-20T11:46:02.009-06:00LONG TILL TAPE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mPy6EFM1em8/XESzSbtS-uI/AAAAAAAAcf8/KoxhaTVlIMYQRqwbnQ1Bee9ojY9OTENZACLcBGAs/s1600/Till%2BTape.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="600" height="400" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-mPy6EFM1em8/XESzSbtS-uI/AAAAAAAAcf8/KoxhaTVlIMYQRqwbnQ1Bee9ojY9OTENZACLcBGAs/s400/Till%2BTape.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is my Rexall till tape.

Don't have a clue what I did different. But then again, I've had big gains for no real reason as well. I have however traded in getting Pizza for a week end treat for a sub. Way less food and way less calories, not to mention a bit less money. A pizza on sale is like $17 a sub is like $12. I supposed if I was eating it with a friend, it would make more sense to get the pizza, but it's just me.</span></div>Dave Nicholsonhttps://plus.google.com/117293544899844557643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683248557101510546.post-59733291684287027182019-01-16T19:03:00.000-06:002019-01-16T19:03:08.658-06:00MB3D FRACTALS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-10uVup2Jo8g/XD_T7svLqnI/AAAAAAAAcfU/606CLkwIzqMCbNnhTvoFJkO1Hbq9lLNPgCLcBGAs/s1600/DL1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-10uVup2Jo8g/XD_T7svLqnI/AAAAAAAAcfU/606CLkwIzqMCbNnhTvoFJkO1Hbq9lLNPgCLcBGAs/s1600/DL1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xt7mhYo5uBY/XD_T7lqsFpI/AAAAAAAAcfQ/pkIE_jklfP4M-qLFsQ4kt576BR-T_yUdwCLcBGAs/s1600/DL2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Xt7mhYo5uBY/XD_T7lqsFpI/AAAAAAAAcfQ/pkIE_jklfP4M-qLFsQ4kt576BR-T_yUdwCLcBGAs/s1600/DL2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PLqX6X2X5Vs/XD_T8FZC5PI/AAAAAAAAcfY/nNkL9YRRQYEwVfUUXWaWsjloNPLeTvSQACLcBGAs/s1600/DL3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-PLqX6X2X5Vs/XD_T8FZC5PI/AAAAAAAAcfY/nNkL9YRRQYEwVfUUXWaWsjloNPLeTvSQACLcBGAs/s1600/DL3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L6OG2hAsUWY/XD_T8tLIJ4I/AAAAAAAAcfc/xmdvWQAt0tkhkknZx0dmK8vdg0zDalWUQCLcBGAs/s1600/Sand%2BDune.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-L6OG2hAsUWY/XD_T8tLIJ4I/AAAAAAAAcfc/xmdvWQAt0tkhkknZx0dmK8vdg0zDalWUQCLcBGAs/s1600/Sand%2BDune.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5bCL8mdUMk4/XD_T7ry4H8I/AAAAAAAAcfM/9qEwZA1Ni7oTdJ4jsaq9tvr96LRSKMX5gCLcBGAs/s1600/Bars.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="800" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5bCL8mdUMk4/XD_T7ry4H8I/AAAAAAAAcfM/9qEwZA1Ni7oTdJ4jsaq9tvr96LRSKMX5gCLcBGAs/s1600/Bars.jpg" /></a></div><br />Dave Nicholsonhttps://plus.google.com/117293544899844557643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683248557101510546.post-42155612711144198422019-01-15T18:48:00.001-06:002019-01-15T18:48:58.795-06:005 SHORT STORIES ABOUT MYSELF<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xZrYviKW7K0/XD5_HIonyHI/AAAAAAAAcdw/YRXj6moQpc8QEaWlDVV6Y3tggg0Y09dDACLcBGAs/s1600/SCANNED%2BFAMILY%2B0009.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="860" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-xZrYviKW7K0/XD5_HIonyHI/AAAAAAAAcdw/YRXj6moQpc8QEaWlDVV6Y3tggg0Y09dDACLcBGAs/s320/SCANNED%2BFAMILY%2B0009.jpg" width="297" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I was 11 months old when I was adopted by my parents. I never once wanted to know who my biological parents where. I never once wanted to see them. I am told I was able to talk not long after that. The only thing I really remember from those days when we lived in this little house was the kitchen and a book shelf. The clearest memory was of when we where selling the house and I was afraid I would never see my friends again. Turned out we did not move far and a couple of the friends form those days I still communicate with today. (I'm 2 in the photo.)</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes we fall in love with the idea of being in love. I know I have many times. Yet actually being in love for me never lasted long and now I can't imagine sharing my life with someone that closely. Honest to God right now I think I would chose having a dog over a spouse.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As a child I had a great deal of energy. When I was 9 I fractured my spine and ended up in a body cast for months. I gained a bit of weight after that - actually more than a little for someone my age at the time. After the cast was off I went back to being as active as I used to be, yet the weight never came off. Later on I hurt my back badly once again and it never came back from that one. I ended up sedentary and over the decades to come almost hit 500 lbs.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">A friend and I drove 1945 miles to be in the Big Easy for 2 weeks. We lived in the freaking car in the middle of summer in a climate we where not ready to experience. It was so dang hot. It was also the most dangerous time in history to be in the Big Easy. On the way we popped over to where they filmed deliverance. Got stopped by some obviously racist cops on the way. We where stupid to do this in a half dead car, but it was the experience of a lifetime and nothing I am able to do now will top it. Hell even if I won the lotto, nothing will top that one.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">When I was taking care of my Mother just before she went into the care home to die of cancer, I was in constant pain that never went below a 5. Some days it was all I could do to help her and when I got home I laid in bed and wondered how the hell I could keep going on like this. All I knew is I had to do it and I could not stop and I could never let her know how much pain it caused me. I think she never noticed as by then she was mentally not all with it and quite focused on her own problems. That being said the worst pain I experienced in that time was watching my beloved Mother slowly go from a vibrant old lady into a shell of what she was, unable to see and hear and when she died it was a relief. Nothing will ever match the pain of that, noting can.</span></div>Dave Nicholsonhttps://plus.google.com/117293544899844557643noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683248557101510546.post-3465231066525074052019-01-15T12:51:00.003-06:002019-01-15T12:51:56.181-06:00Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 Leather Stand Case Cover<div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The case has no brand name with it and I got it on eBay for $13.99 (plus taxes) and free shipping. It fits perfect and will rotate so you can have the tablet in landscape or portrait mode. It's actual leather so I'm impressed with that. Don't know how the band will stand up over time that holds it shut but the price was right. The seller was "Skypillar" and had a 100% positive rating. I'm happy with it.&nbsp;</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9-4X2JR4Lyk/XD4qkjGrAeI/AAAAAAAAcdM/AnFbDUq5hHMTPsJ-dH-3u5lPwOsI1wtgACLcBGAs/s1600/C1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9-4X2JR4Lyk/XD4qkjGrAeI/AAAAAAAAcdM/AnFbDUq5hHMTPsJ-dH-3u5lPwOsI1wtgACLcBGAs/s1600/C1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eWiEwUu7Vkc/XD4qknDcwbI/AAAAAAAAcdQ/ID0cX7Q2vao18Lbm26pjudzJlKrCFLqogCLcBGAs/s1600/C2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eWiEwUu7Vkc/XD4qknDcwbI/AAAAAAAAcdQ/ID0cX7Q2vao18Lbm26pjudzJlKrCFLqogCLcBGAs/s1600/C2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xNl4IvykVB0/XD4qkmMPDiI/AAAAAAAAcdU/Ir8P2tFrsP45NKbAQADMIgFgKGFjbnjwwCLcBGAs/s1600/C3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xNl4IvykVB0/XD4qkmMPDiI/AAAAAAAAcdU/Ir8P2tFrsP45NKbAQADMIgFgKGFjbnjwwCLcBGAs/s1600/C3.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cJPWvfCMWHo/XD4qlCsRBbI/AAAAAAAAcdY/B6n5SqkcYR8tBMBBx9HoyilgC1K997JlwCLcBGAs/s1600/C4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-cJPWvfCMWHo/XD4qlCsRBbI/AAAAAAAAcdY/B6n5SqkcYR8tBMBBx9HoyilgC1K997JlwCLcBGAs/s1600/C4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-onhiZEdPw7U/XD4qleZ1_XI/AAAAAAAAcdc/F_1imetZ9s8KXNYyJFWS4AqWybb9V2BRwCLcBGAs/s1600/C5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-onhiZEdPw7U/XD4qleZ1_XI/AAAAAAAAcdc/F_1imetZ9s8KXNYyJFWS4AqWybb9V2BRwCLcBGAs/s1600/C5.jpg" /></a></div><br />Dave Nicholsonhttps://plus.google.com/117293544899844557643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683248557101510546.post-26748786497780048632019-01-14T15:44:00.003-06:002019-01-14T15:44:58.499-06:00WINDOWS 1809 FINALLY HAS FULL DARK MODE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5SQBOLpPCFg/XDz_8rdnJUI/AAAAAAAAcc0/Xn2v7mk1v1MBcI51Oh5T0vNt3WRchKLGgCLcBGAs/s1600/Dark%2B1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="450" data-original-width="800" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-5SQBOLpPCFg/XDz_8rdnJUI/AAAAAAAAcc0/Xn2v7mk1v1MBcI51Oh5T0vNt3WRchKLGgCLcBGAs/s1600/Dark%2B1.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Finally in version 1809 Windows 10 has the Dark Theme in the file explorer. It took long enough and like a great deal of other people, I wondered why the hell it was not carried over to every aspect of the interface instead of just menus.</span></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">That being said, it is a hell of a lot nicer to look at now and rather more easy on my eyes as well. I always use the dark or night theme on things I can use it on for the reason of the white being to much on my eyes after a while.</div></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">If only Facebook would get on the bandwagon and put out a dark theme or night mode.

Sigh.</div></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">If I could make my Kindle books black with white text, I'd do it in a heart beat. I have a lot of problems reading with a white background some days, and it always ends up with a headache if I read for more than 2 hours. I have actually read a great deal of text in the night mode kind of style and it was easy on my eyes.</div></span><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-size: large;"><div style="text-align: justify;">Now I've not seen proof of this and I'm kind of thinking it's horse hockey, but some say dark mode saves a bit of power.

I did all the main quests normally (eventually), then I used the saved game editor to make myself a God and did all the side quests as well (quickly I might add).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There are thousands of D-Mods to play on this web page <a href="https://www.dinknetwork.com/files/category_dmod/">HERE</a>. So you can be busy at it for years LOL. Some place in the pile of files on that site, you will find the map editor and the saved game editor as well as a map of the original game (no D-Mod maps - sorry). There is also a tutorial on how to make your own D-Mods to play and share.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Man now I only wish that there was a Windows 10 HD version of Castle of the Winds. I know you can actually play COTW 1 and 2 online, but it's not the same some how. I want to see an updated graphics version for W10. But this will never happen even though there was a lot of talk of it happening for years.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Now if you want to run a virtual machine and run Windows XP on it, you will be able to run it I'm told, but I have my doubts if it's going to run and a 64 bit system. Yet people say they have run COTW on a 64 bit system... I've never seen it done.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I really was never big into games in the day. These 2 games are about the only ones I got into big time. And not that I played literally all day, I doubt I'll bother with any of the D-Mods. I had my fun now back to movies on Netflix.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">BTW in Dink Smallwood there is a side quest not mentioned very often. When you get to the edge of the world and find the cave to go into, just before it you can walk through the trees to the west and get to a staircase. This leads to the land of Fire and Ice.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Just before the land of Fire and Ice entry is a way to go east into the land of the dead ducks. Nothing to do there, but it's a head trip.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">On the beach south of a well (by the duck shrine) you will find 2 shell fish and a couple lines of rocks. Go south and you will walk on water to Mystery Island. In there is a LOT of money and experience to be had. Also there is a bow maker that will sell you the "fire bow" for 25,000 GP. It's a handy weapon&nbsp;at the end fight.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thing is you need to talk to the king the first time before it will be ready to sell you. Speaking of items the throwing&nbsp;axe is is OK for most creatures but the stone monsters it's useless on. It's also about useless on Goblins&nbsp;- you will need a bow and the knowledge&nbsp;of how to use it (2 different places for that).</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">First thing you might want is just after the wizard to the south then to the east is a lone house with a man selling a pair of boots that will give you double speed and double attacks (with hands only). It's a fast way to travel the map.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I think you should be able to figure out the other things. BTW there used to be in an early version a way to get to the "Meat Shack". It's not accessible&nbsp;in this version. But if you edit the map, you can get there north of the edge of the world. It's just a shack with 2 knights and a bit of meat - your player says "I'm here for my meat". Sigh - that's all it is.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In the edge of the world is also the ability to learn a spell you will want for the end fight.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">As well one more side quest I just remembered. After you kill all the ducks there is a place in the house to go downstairs and it leads to Dragon Island.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">That's it - have a good one and keep smiling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">P.S. I posted a while back how to <a href="http://www.davenicholson.ca/2018/06/castle-of-winds-saved-game-hex-edit.html">hex edit COTW saved games</a> to give you God like stats.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">Play COTW 1 &amp; 2 online <a href="https://classicreload.com/castle-or-the-winds.html">HERE</a> (small window and exposed to a video advertisement). Have to have AdBloker off. Hit start, then double click the icon in the Windows 3.11 window that comes up.</span></div>Dave Nicholsonhttps://plus.google.com/117293544899844557643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683248557101510546.post-80478238591811175972019-01-12T20:39:00.002-06:002019-01-12T20:39:40.957-06:00JUST FOR THE LOLS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f45fQjaAEfY/XDqk2b7i28I/AAAAAAAAcb8/bUtVYL2M254FEzrUG5ae7hlqVM374idSACLcBGAs/s1600/Safe%2BFrom%2BFart.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="480" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f45fQjaAEfY/XDqk2b7i28I/AAAAAAAAcb8/bUtVYL2M254FEzrUG5ae7hlqVM374idSACLcBGAs/s640/Safe%2BFrom%2BFart.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />Dave Nicholsonhttps://plus.google.com/117293544899844557643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683248557101510546.post-30997141600026866122019-01-12T20:31:00.002-06:002019-01-12T20:31:29.955-06:00NEW SLOW COOKER AND A BLACKOUT BUDDY<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qbeAYjXARaE/XDqh39TamKI/AAAAAAAAcb0/n3Khhk48ZQs62Ap4QCudP5qaD335jEqTwCLcBGAs/s1600/Crock.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-qbeAYjXARaE/XDqh39TamKI/AAAAAAAAcb0/n3Khhk48ZQs62Ap4QCudP5qaD335jEqTwCLcBGAs/s1600/Crock.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The new slow cooker. I love this thing. It's twice the size of the old one and has a lot of surface aria so it cooks twice as much in the same time as the last one did. This way I can cook 2 days of food at the same time.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Being that I generally eat the same thing every day all day, it's easy to do. The last one lasted me about 6 or 7 years then dropped dead on me. It cooked a great deal of meals so it's all good. I am hoping this one will last as long as the old one did. They are expensive after all.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">You can also see one of my blackout buddies on the plug. It is like a night light that turns on when it gets dark in here and helps me go get a glass of water in the middle of the night. As well it will stay lit for 5 hours after the power goes out and can be used as a flashlight if needed.</span></div>Dave Nicholsonhttps://plus.google.com/117293544899844557643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683248557101510546.post-42668874683553316252019-01-12T20:25:00.004-06:002019-01-12T20:25:58.199-06:00STUFFED TOY OBSESSION<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9yDIDZB0cLs/XDqgN8oixDI/AAAAAAAAcbs/PZYk4lFGTM89HFSA5Fhxz4vUuWrCO0wJQCLcBGAs/s1600/Family.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="742" data-original-width="800" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-9yDIDZB0cLs/XDqgN8oixDI/AAAAAAAAcbs/PZYk4lFGTM89HFSA5Fhxz4vUuWrCO0wJQCLcBGAs/s1600/Family.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is my thing. I collect stuffed toys - mostly Pusheen related. The bear was Moms that I gave her when she was in a care home and dying of cancer. No shown is a small grey Pusheen and a dog. The dog was something Mom had in her apartment sitting on her dresser. The small Pusheen sits by my bed and I play with it kind of a lot. The rest of them sit around the apartment and I don't play with them that much, but I will pick one up and carry it around for a bit.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Yup very manly ain't it? But it helps my anxiety a lot to hold these things for some reason. Also when I'm in a lot of pain, the small grey one will comfort me and easy the feeling of pain to an extent.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The bear and the dog are to remind me of Mom. The cow is just something I got on impulse when Mom was in the hospital one time. I saw it in the hospital store when I was shopping for something fun for Mom.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The colored Pusheens are a set. One of the cookie Pusheens is a Chinese&nbsp;knock off referred&nbsp;to as a fortune cookie Pusheen. It's called that for the shape of the cookie I'm told.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There is a Stormy and a Pip as well. They are the siblings of Pusheen.</span></div>Dave Nicholsonhttps://plus.google.com/117293544899844557643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683248557101510546.post-2594596992764031502019-01-11T19:19:00.001-06:002019-01-11T19:19:32.324-06:00I'M OLD MY BACK HURTS PLAYLIST<span style="font-size: large;">Cat’s In The Cradle – Harry Chapin</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Dream On – Aerosmith</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Enter Sandman – Metallica</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">In Hell I’ll Be In good Company – The Dead South</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Sweet Child O’ Mine – Guns N’ Roses</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Zombie – Bad Wolves</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Stairway To Heaven – Led Zeppelin</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Black Betty – Ram Jam</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Hurt – Johnny Cash</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Wish You Were Here – Pink Floyd</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Fortunate Son – CCR</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Simple Man - Lynyrd Skynyrd</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Wind Of Change – Scorpions</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites – Skrillex</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Nothing Else Matters – Metallica</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Bad Company – Five Finger Death Punch</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Keep The Wolves Away – Uncle Lucius</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Duality – Slipknot</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Magic Carpet Ride – Steppenwolf</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Stressed Out – Twenty One Pilots</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Don’t Look Back – Boston</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Take On Me – A-Ha</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Big Iron – Marty Robbins</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Carry on Wayward Son – Kansas</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;">You Spin Me Round (Like a Record) – Dead or Alive</span><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Peace.</span></div>Dave Nicholsonhttps://plus.google.com/117293544899844557643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683248557101510546.post-12840766068873835202019-01-10T15:40:00.000-06:002019-01-10T15:40:10.923-06:00I'LL LIKE WHO I LIKE<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A8w9rgsdLmU/XDe18cA3MeI/AAAAAAAAcXc/KQofulwP8g4CLcJMPNlWrny7cF0efeWpwCLcBGAs/s1600/Image1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="320" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-A8w9rgsdLmU/XDe18cA3MeI/AAAAAAAAcXc/KQofulwP8g4CLcJMPNlWrny7cF0efeWpwCLcBGAs/s320/Image1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Got to love the internet. The people who can't interact on a normal functional&nbsp;level in society tend to hang out online instead.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">There people tend to want you to like what they like, and who they like only. If you opinion&nbsp;is different, or your likes are different, they can't handle the situation and try to force you into changing your mind.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well this does not work for the vast majority&nbsp;of people I know. We tend to not give a darn what other people think about us or the people we hang out with. So we just block and move on when these mentally&nbsp;child like people go on the offensive.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The thing is, every single person I hang out with in real life or on the internet has someone in their circle of friends I dislike. Some of them to an extreme&nbsp;(not hate, dislike). I don't go off on them and tell them who to like. If someone takes offense to who I like, they can just more on in my way of thinking, or get past it and accept we have differences.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This works on every level on the internet it seems. If you say you like a product or movie, someone will lose their mind on you and tell you just why you suck for thinking the way you do.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The greatest example of this is the religious people I know. Personally I'm a pagan and I won't go into just how that works, but I have many christian friends. I also know many people of alternative faith.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">To an online keyboard warrior who opposes the idea of God this is not an acceptable situation and you must at this exact moment stop believing in God and become like them. Well that is not how it works in reality. In fact no one even in all of time has changed their mind on God because someone told them differently. <b>NEVER</b>.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The other big one is politics. I know people on every side of that one as well. I don't agree even close to some of the people I hang out with on politics. What I think though, is irrelevant&nbsp;and they have the fundamental right to support who they hell they want even if I think they are mentally ill for doing it.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Hell a couple of people I am as close as family with have very opposing views on politics to me. They literally spend time bashing the guy I think is the best for the job. As in they share posts going on how much he sucks. Well I don't get pissed off and fire a canon at them, I keep scrolling.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I have many times lost online friends for not walking away from someone they had a fight with. It seems there are kind of a lot of people that can't accept reality these days. My ability to stay who I am does not depend on the thoughts, likes and opinions&nbsp;of people I hang out with. So why would me liking them, make me someone you no longer like? I'll tell you why - they have a child like mentality&nbsp;when it comes to dispute.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The most recent of this is my taking interest in the stories of a Cop in the USA on YouTube. Well this has caused a couple of people so far to come over to my channel and drop a few childish comments. Well blocked you are - you have no say in who I like or watch and why.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">It's always amazing to me in the first place when people take a group and decide to dislike them on the bases of a small amount of them. The number of actual bad cops out there is not that high. But the tenancy&nbsp;of the short sighted is to see something on social media and think it is the reality for all people in a group.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The biggest one of these mistakes in judgment&nbsp;it seems is followers of Islam. Well lets put it this way, if it was not for one of these people I may well have been dead my now. Yes there is a large amount of bad people doing things in the name of Islam. Lets also look at how many people in the world follow the faith and see how pointless that really is.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">We also tend to cluster people from a country into the same boat as the government there. An oppressive government does not meal literally every person in that country is a bad person. The fact is that 99% of them are just trying to live a life. They are in fact just like us.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">But today people only seem to want to see the differences in each other and not the ties that bind us all together. This is why I have the opinion&nbsp;that humanity will never be more that a bunch of groups of people trying to get their way instead of working together. We seem to have the need to cluster in groups who don't like other groups.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">To be a person with an evolved sense of reality, right and wrong, is to be outside these groups. I see myself as a person and part of a society and a global&nbsp;community of people. I don't see myself as a part of a small group who needs to fight for our ways to be the only way.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">This is why we will always be at war and the majority of people will never know what it is to be truly happy with themselves. They need to be a part of something to exist as a person. They can't just live and let live.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well time to end this flow of thought and say "have a good day all and keep smiling". Hugs and love - Dave.</span></div>Dave Nicholsonhttps://plus.google.com/117293544899844557643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683248557101510546.post-31896301038189476062019-01-10T15:06:00.000-06:002019-01-10T15:06:50.832-06:00SO MUCH FOR FLICKR<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-86mpvaQUQ8c/XDexqvob7mI/AAAAAAAAcXM/qKp9F5j1LjkI38neCjRWDLGeA0pe4Hv9wCLcBGAs/s1600/Flicker.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="277" data-original-width="800" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-86mpvaQUQ8c/XDexqvob7mI/AAAAAAAAcXM/qKp9F5j1LjkI38neCjRWDLGeA0pe4Hv9wCLcBGAs/s1600/Flicker.png" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-size: large;">So I had around 7,400 photos from around my city and aria on Flickr. Well they used to have 1TB of storage for free. Now they have changed it to 1000 photos for free instead. The result was me deleting all but 462 of my photos.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">The deal with me caring is, they where all set to Creative Commons and I allowed people to use them. Most of them where never downloaded but some where used a several times for different publications I am aware of.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">But the better ones are still on there. Frankly, I did have hundreds of photos of food and cars and stuffed toys and so on that not many people would care about.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">I do have the photos backed up in the cloud and on 3 hard drives, so not much chance of losing them all one day. I guess I need to get with the times, It's not like many sites have a wack of free storage anymore. Other photo sites I don't really post on much. I just don't care to.</span><br /><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-size: large;">But there are copies of every single photo I've taken on my Facebook some place. So there is that I guess. I have not actually looked for any other free to use sites for photos. Google Photo has the limitation of size to 2048 x 2048 in size and I forget the file size limit. So the resizing of thousands of photos might be a hell of a task to say the least - so that ain't happening LOL.</span>Dave Nicholsonhttps://plus.google.com/117293544899844557643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5683248557101510546.post-20033030500082113592019-01-10T14:48:00.003-06:002019-01-10T14:48:27.149-06:00CHRISTMAS CARDS AND THE WRONG AMAZON<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-02fJ22o7MDQ/XDeuBRmv9pI/AAAAAAAAcW8/aY_UuPeoSFsvvFUlYnOqkmj9X0adZYnmgCLcBGAs/s1600/Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="800" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-02fJ22o7MDQ/XDeuBRmv9pI/AAAAAAAAcW8/aY_UuPeoSFsvvFUlYnOqkmj9X0adZYnmgCLcBGAs/s1600/Card.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I don't tend to get many Christmas Cards at all. In fact very few. The thing is, most of them show up in January and it does not seem to matter when they are sent. If the person sends them early, it still comes late. The only one I got before Christmas day was from the only relative that still communicates with me. I tend to send her back a letter about how my year went as she has how her year went in the card.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">The card shown had a Amazon card in it and I used it to get books for my Kindle app on the tablet. I can't use Amazon.com cards on Amazon.ca so I get books when I get one from the USA. With shipping to Canada not being free and rather expensive getting something&nbsp;from the US store would be pointless.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I strangely won 3 $100 Amazon.com cards in a short time a couple years ago. I ended up sending them in the mail to people in the USA I knew needed the money. I also got a $100 Walmart card one time that I sent to a person in the USA to get cat food with.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">I think if I win another US Amazon card of that value, I'll order hot sauce in from there or something, then use the leftover for books.</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">In any event, have a great day and keep smiling.</span></div>Dave Nicholsonhttps://plus.google.com/117293544899844557643noreply@blogger.com0
